FROM THE EDITORS



Please give what you can to support AGR

Each week, the Asheville Global Report prints 1,700 issues of the news paper and our website receives more than a thousand visits each day.

If you are reading this, you are one of those thousands of people who value the AGR and recognize what an unusual and valuable resource it is.

We’ve been there for you, for almost five years now, without missing a week, bringing you the important news that never makes it into the mainstream media.

Now we need you to be there for us.

We need your money, and we need it now.

No doubt, many of you, like the AGR staff, aren’t flush with cash. And although we wouldn’t turn it down, we aren’t asking for hundreds of dollars. We’re just asking that you give what you can.

Imagine, if you would, if each of our readers gave us $5 a month.

We would be in great shape.

That money would not only allow us to expand the number of papers we publish, but allow us to focus on improving production and content, without diverting energy towards fundraising for the next issue.

And content is why you are reading AGR right now.

The odds of each of our thousands of readers sending us cash are slim. That’s why we’re counting on those of you who can.

Let us know how much AGR means to you.

Come by and proofread, help us distribute, contribute some writing. Or send us a tax deductible donation.

And do it now.

Mail your donation to: PO Box 1504, Asheville NC, 2880, or contribute with your credit card at our website, www.agrnews.org

Thank you.
